This is a great overview of the flavors of minor scales (as opposed to the, really, only one flavor of major scale. One thing that I stumble over is that pesky DESCENDING melodic minor part of the scale, with the (in D) C natural and Bb. Is this largely discounted in modern theory these days?
Thanks! I tend to think about the scales as the same notes ascending and descending, but I change up the notes anyway to achieve different harmonic sounds and tension. I think there are different ways that people look at it…
What a nice trip to go recharge. Cant wait for the new album
Gettting mixes AND artwork back today!
Glad you're back. Pity you don't do courses, retreats in Europe. Keep on posting:-)
Thank you! We’ve been talking about doing a retreat in Spain! 🙏👌
